6 Facts

My second tag! Tara's facts are funny, so I'd check them out if I were you.

Six facts about me:

1. My mum has a school photo of me wearing a busby, we were doing some kind of drama workshop. I was wearing tartan trousers too. Oh yeah I was also really miserable and in tears, I think an adult dressed as a girls dolly was holding my hand. You'd laugh it you saw it.

2. I am quite scared by spiders. When I was a teenager I had posters on my wall, one night I heard a pitter pattering of feet. I turned on the light and the noise stopped. Turned off the light and it started again. Eventually I figured out the sound was coming from my poster above my bed. Then I saw it, the biggest freakin' spider I've ever seen in my life. Never quite got over it.

3. I started my first year of sixth form at school an hour and a half earlier than everybody else. I wore a suit that was too big for me and met my Chemistry teacher at the gates who had a wicked grin on his face but he didn't say anything. Once inside my first encounter was with the Headmaster who said "While you're here, you can take these hymn books...to such and such a place". I did the job and then left for home feeling extremely silly and disgruntled.

4. My first videogame system was a black and white system made by Binatone. It came with a light gun attached by wire to the console. As far as my memory serves it was total pants because you just had to point the gun at the screen and it scored.

5. I always inexplicably hated the film Annie before ever watching it. Now I've seen it many times with the children, I actually like the film.

6. I once commonly used the phrase "Sharp as a razor, blunt as an egg".

There, now it's done - I can rest easy!
